[nagdu] Ear Infections

[Raven Tolliver]

apple cider vinegar is anti-fungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and
anti-inflammatory. But if the dog has yeast infections, there is
nothing you can put into the ears that will clear the yeast up.
There's an underlying issue. If yeast infections occur in the ears or
skin, a diet change should be in order. Yeast is fed by sugar, and
starches are converted into sugar. Considering most people's dogs eat
kibble, which all kibble contains starch, that is certainly the
primary cause of a yeast infection.
However, yeast infections can be genetic in the instance of nr dogs
consuming a starch-free diet, but have weaker immune systems from
their conventionally-reared parents and/or ancestry.
